The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
The oven must be cool in order to set the self-
clean cycle.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to
slide.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean
the top, sides and outside of the oven door with
soap and water.
Make sure the oven lightbulb cover (on some
models) is in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the + or – pad, enter the desired
clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is
needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can
change the clean time to any time between 3
hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your
oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will show
the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the temperature drops
below the lock temperature and the LOCKED light
goes off.
When the LOCKED light is off, open the door.
„ The word LOCK will flash and the oven control
will signal if you set the clean cycle and forget
to close the oven door.
„ To stop a clean cycle, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
When the LOCKED light goes off indicating the
oven has cooled below the locking temperature,
open the door.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the + or – pad, enter the desired
clean time.
Touch the DELAY START pad.
Using the + or – pad, enter the time of
day you want the clean cycle to start.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will
show the start time. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the temperature
drops below the lock temperature and the
LOCKED light goes off.
When the LOCKED light is off, open the door.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
„ You cannot set the oven for cooking until the
oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
„ If the racks become hard to slide, wipe the
rack supports with cooking oil.
